And I well up at long distance commercials too...
Just watched a replay of Alexandre Bilodeau receiving the first gold medal ever to be awarded to a Canadian on home soil. The crowd was going wild and he looked like he was in another dimension while his anthem was played. Absolutely brilliant.
Moments like these are why I love the Olympics... I'm a total sucker for the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat and a touching athlete back story. I must be a TV producer's dream viewer because it takes about 0.11 milliseconds for me to get sucked in.
Know what else I love about the Olympics these days? Blitzing through 5 hours of coverage in less than half the time courtesy the magical powers of the DVR FF> button.
Getting sucked in, easy. Staying sucked in... not so much.
Good for you! There's nothing wrong with being a little emotional, crying tv tears. I'm notorious for movie tears. The worst...when I was pregnant for Keenan, watching Homeward Bound...the movie about two dogs and a cat lost in the wilderness trying to get back to their family. Buckets. Just buckets.

ReplyDeleteYea, me too! Constantly scanning the horizon for inspiration am I and you know, there's plenty out there as long as you know where to look. I'll have to catch this one on Hulu or something. Thanks!
I go away for a few days and you've redecorated the place. Looks nice.
Thanks Rob! I'm learning how to modify the template to make it more my own.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to watch Sean White snowboard tonight. I know he is not Canadian, but it should be AWESOME. Thanks, as always for stopping by my blog...where I air my dirty laundry.
